Making Eating on a Budget Amazing!!!!!!!!!

If you saw my receipts from today, you wouldn't believe what I paid.  I used no coupons, only the deals in the sales papers from the day. 

Bi-Lo

Sara Lee plain bagels

Sara Lee blueberry bagels

Arnold oatnut bread (paid full price--it's worth it)

1lb ground turkey breast

5 crab cakes

Frozen flounder filets

Frozen whiting filets

Frozen catfish nuggets

---------------------------

Total before savings: 50.22

Total savings: 21.96

Total: $29.11

The bagels were Buy One Get One Free, and the last five items were all in the "Pick 5 for $20" deal.  I can bake or stuff the fish for one meal and have plenty left over for sushi the next day.  Of course, the crab cakes are for when my dad comes to visit.
